Waiting On Wednesday (25)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly blog post hosted by Breaking The Spine. For this week's Waiting On Wednesday I chose Chantress by Amy Butler Greenfield

Expected Publication:May 7,2013

Sing and the darkness will find you.

Shipwrecked on an island seven years ago, Lucy has been warned she must never sing, or disaster will strike. But on All Hallows Eve, Lucy hears tantalizing music in the air. When she sings it, she unlocks a terrible secret: She is a Chantress, a spell-singer, brought to the island not by shipwreck but by a desperate enchantment gone wrong.

Her song lands her back in England — and in mortal peril, for the kingdom lies in the cruel grasp of a powerful Lord Protector and his mind-reading hunters, the Shadowgrims. The Protector has killed all Chantresses, for they alone can destroy the Shadowgrims. Only Lucy has survived.

In terrible danger, Lucy takes shelter with Nat, a spy who turns her heart upside-down. Nat has been working with his fellow scholars of the Invisible College to overthrow the Lord Protector, and they have long hoped to find a living Chantress to help them. But Lucy is completely untrained, and Nat deeply distrusts her magic. If Lucy cannot master the songspells, how long can she even stay alive?

Why Am I Waiting
I love the premise of this book. I've read a ton of books and can only count a handful that focus on a Chantress type character. I want to know what made Lucy so special to be saved and not the others. I also can't wait to see how creative the Author gets with the character.

Oh, I'm always looking for new fantasy, and this one sounds awesome! I've never read anything about Chantresses either, so I'm really intrigued to see how that story plays out. And that cover is gorgeous, too!

Oh the book sounds amazing and just look at that cover.... gorgeous! I think I'll be adding this one to my to-read list and I'll read it when it comes out. Great pick! Thanks for sharing. Come check out my WOW post.
